The three major IP attractions—Nalati Sky Grassland, Sayram Lake, and Huocheng Lavender Fields—attract tourists from across the country. According to recent data from the Xinjiang Culture and Tourism Department, tourist numbers in Yili in June 2026 increased by 23% year-on-year, with 85% opting for 2-6 person no-shopping small tour groups to avoid the crowds and shopping traps of traditional large groups.
